About parenting therapy in Florida

Everyone listed on this page holds a licence to practise in Florida and works online. That matters more than it sounds: a licence is issued by the state, not by a city, so a therapist is available to anyone in Florida regardless of how far away they are. Someone outside a major metro can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.

1,275 therapists match this page, all of whom name parenting among the areas they work with. Fifteen are shown above. The list changes between pages, so it is worth looking at more than one if none of these feels like a fit.

What to compare

  • Credential. LMHC, LCSW and LMFT are different training routes to licensed practice in Florida, all overseen by the Florida Department of Health's Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling. None outranks the others; they shape emphasis rather than quality.
  • Years in practice. Shown for every therapist here. More experience is not automatically better, but it is a fair proxy for how much of a given problem someone has seen.
  • What else they work with. A therapist whose other focus areas overlap with your situation is usually a better starting point than one whose listed areas stop at the single thing you searched for.
  • Approach. CBT, psychodynamic, solution-focused and the rest describe how sessions tend to run. If you have tried therapy before and it did not suit you, changing approach is often more useful than changing therapist.
  • Language. Shown where a therapist offers sessions in more than English.

How online sessions work

Sessions run by video or by messaging, arranged through our partner platform rather than booked directly with the therapist. There is no travel and no waiting room, which for most people is the difference between starting and not starting. Pricing is set by the platform and shown before you commit.

Common questions

Can these therapists help with co-parenting after separation or divorce?

Yes. Many therapists on this page list experience with co-parenting issues, including communication between households, setting consistent routines for children, and managing emotions after separation. Look for therapists who note work with separated parents or custody-related stress, and contact them to confirm they handle your specific situation, such as court-related concerns or joint sessions with an ex-partner.

What kinds of parenting challenges do these therapists commonly treat?

Therapists here commonly address behavior problems, tantrums, discipline strategies, attachment concerns, teen conflict, parental stress, burnout, and transitions like new siblings or blended families. Some also focus on developmental issues, special needs parenting, or parenting while managing a mental health condition. Check each profile for age ranges and specialties to match your child’s needs.

How should I compare therapists’ approaches to parenting support?

Look at therapeutic models listed, such as parent coaching, family therapy, attachment-based work, CBT for behavior, or trauma-informed approaches. Note whether they offer individual parent sessions, joint parent-child work, or whole-family therapy. Consider the therapist’s stated experience with your child’s age and specific concerns, then reach out to ask about their typical goals and methods for parenting support.
